At the Crystal Blue restaurant, Marcelo is at one of the tables checking résumés for the next hire. Elisa approaches him wearing a black dress.

"Hi, bro, what are you doing?"

"I'm sorting out résumés. Another waitress quit her job to get married." Marcelo responds staring at the sheets.

"If you haven't hired Stacy, the time is now." Elisa pulls out her chair and sits down.

Hearing his sister sit down, Marcelo looks at her and notices the mourning clothes. "What happened?"

"Mister Teodoro Reis has just passed away. You know, that gentleman who sheltered Josias when he ran away from home."

"The owner of the building where Josias lived in Happiness Slum? Oh, what a pity," Marcelo searches until he finds Stacy's résumé, "So, she won't be able to work now. Surely everyone related to Mr. Reis will be in mourning."

    Everyone is moved by Josias's speech. Romualdo and Uélton also remember the time they met. If it weren't for Teodoro sheltering Josias when he only wore sweatpants, they wouldn't be friends to this day.But to the surprise of the mourners, Josias was not finished. He is still standing beside the pastor, only pausing to continue: “We know that my friend Teodoro's last days have been turbulent, with some matters left unfinished. In honor of the memory of my friend and symbolic father, I will resolve the troubling matters."Beto smiled widely and his eyes sparkled. He swore that later he would approach Josias and ask for help in getting revenge on Wallace.Wallace, however, tightened his grip on Vera's arm, almost breaking her humerus, venting his anger. He asks in his thoughts, "Will I have to go back to hating Josias? Why doesn't he keep quiet with his son and Silva Constructions? Don't mess around, Josias; this is none of your business!"Josi

Beto and Pamela are on the sofa and Vera was deliberately left standing."Guys, I don't want to cause you any more pain." Josias begins, "But, we need to discuss the future of Seu Teodoro's building.""It is natural for us to inherit the building, after all, it is a source of income." Beto states, "But I'm busy working at the supermarket warehouse, I'm the head of the sector. Pamela is here with me and Vera has her job.""Vera's job is easier to get rid of."

William scolds him, "How many times has Josias begged you to be careful? Your work is dangerous, Uélton; you could be electrocuted to death!"Uélton, however, smiles and shrugs. "I can't die yet, buddy. That maid needs to be mine.""What maid?" Stacy asks, feeling calmer."That hot maid Melissa and Josias hired. She's mine."

    At the quiet, tree-lined Ibrahim Square, Sarah sat alone on a bench, her gaze resting on an issue of the Maggiezine. She flipped through the pages, but her mind was elsewhere — clearly disconnected from whatever her eyes were scanning.Lost in thought, she barely noticed Reynaldo approaching until his voice startled her back to the present.“Sarah, thank goodness you’re safe, sound... and still a virgin!”She nearly jumped off the bench, utterly horrified by his sudden arrival — and even more so by his tactless choice of words.“What is going on with this town?” she snapped. “Is there something in the water?”“I drink charcoal-filtered water,” Reynaldo replied matter-of-factly, as if that settled the issue.“Well, good for you.” Sarah crossed her arms. “Reynaldo, can you explain to me if you have something against J.J.?”He sat down beside her, his demeanor defensive yet trying to remain calm.“I have nothing against him,” he insisted. “I met J.J. recently — when he came back ‘from th

According to Reynaldo, you snapped when you saw him near Sarah Paes.”At that, J.J. finally lifted his gaze, his demeanor shifting from flippant to serious. “Since you’re following in your father’s footsteps, I assume you know who Sarah is.” He paused for effect, then added gravely, “

But as they approached Brigitte’s office, their conversation came to an abrupt halt.“I’ve been waiting for you, you little fox!” came a sharp voice from down the hall.Brigitte froze, startled by the sight of Suzy standing at her office door, arms crossed and a glare cold enough to freeze hell over.******In the elegant living room of the Mountain Penthouse, Diane sat beside Felipe on the plush sofa, her demeanor gentle and maternal, despite the fact her son was a grown man.

But this is urgent.”Placing her purse on the sideboard, Diane raised an eyebrow. “And what’s so important that it needs to be discussed right now?”Jake turned to her. “Felipe says he wants to break up with my sister. I have to be involved in this.”A sly, almost mischievous smile tugged at Diane’s lips. “And where is Suzy, by the way?”Jake flinched, suddenly sheepish. “Er... she went to look for investors at—”“I don’t give a damn!” Diane exploded. “Mr. Cogo—”“Jake,” he corrected quickly.“‘Jake,’ I’m deeply disappointed in the way Suzy handled this whole situation.

The soft rhythm of her lullaby filled the space — until the sound of the doorbell cut through the quiet.“That’s odd,” Mary murmured, her brow furrowing. “No one called from the front desk...” She approached the door cautiously and asked, “Who is it?”A voice responded from the other side. “Jake Cogo!”Mary raised an eyebrow, surprised. “Hold on a second!”Just then, Felipe emerged slowly, dressed in a white robe, walking with measured steps — the toll of his recent hospital stay still evident in his posture.“Who is it, Mary?” he asked.“Jake Cogo,” she answered, puzzled. “Cousin, weren’t you dating his sister?”Felipe grimaced, visibly annoyed by the mention.“Mary, I’m not dating Jake,” he clarified. “You better take our little cousin to his crib.”Mary gave a small smile. “Oh, Anthony’s already asleep. My lullaby must’ve been either very soothing or incredibly boring.”Felipe chuckle

What’s up?” Neilton called out with a grin.Rodrigo replied, “Neil, sometimes I envy you for not having a mountain of problems.”Laughing, Neilton shot back, “And I envy you for having a big, noisy family.”Rodrigo paused, swallowing hard. “I’m sorry.”“Nah, I’m just joking — well, maybe not. I do wish I had at least a younger brother.”Rodrigo chuckled lightly. “Whenever I need to, I talk to Veronica over video call. Anyway, I meant the problems at the supermarket.”They made their way to the counter.“Still that issue with the truck from Bezerra Farm?” Neilton asked.“That’s resolved. But now we know why it happened.” Rodrigo lowered his voice, glancing around. “Be careful with the Borges brothers. They’re not who we thou

Where’s Sofia?” she asked.Alan leaned back with a hint of irony in his tone. “Which of those two questions should I answer?”Suzy paused, confused by the odd remark.“We need to talk, Suzy,” he continued, pushing a check across the desk.Suzy’s breath caught as she picked it up and read the staggering amount.“This check...?” she whispered.“It’s the amount you invested in Vaztrans, plus ten percent in compensation, as outlined in your contract,” Alan explained coolly.“You’re... returning my investment?” she asked, her voice tight.“Exactly. We no longer require your partnership, Miss Cogo.”Suzy’s eyes narrowed. “May I ask what this is about?”“It’s simple,” Alan said, calm but firm. “My wife believes you’re not cont

Isn’t he the top lawyer at Damascene Lawyers?”J.J. answered with a grim tone. “Apparently being a lawyer for the most prestigious firm in Lagoon City has become some sort of cover for him.”Rodrigo, firm and resolute, added, “Well, then we’ll have to tear that cover off.
